What am I doing wrong?
"""
This is importing a function named `tweet` from a file
that we unfortunately don't have access to change.
You use it like so:
>>> tweet("Hello this is my tweet")
If the function cannot connect to Twitter,
the function will raise a `CommunicationError`
If the message is too long,
the function will raise a `MessageTooLongError`
"""
from twitter import (
tweet,
MessageTooLongError,
CommunicationError,
)
message = input("What would you like to tweet? ")
# Your code here
try:
tweet(message)
except CommunicationError:
print('An error occurred attempting to connect to Twitter. Please try again!')

I think that you do not need to handle any error here using try and except... You just need to use the functions you are importing. For instance:
from twitter import (
tweet,
MessageTooLongError,
CommunicationError,
)
message = input("What would you like to tweet? ")
if #whatever condition that makes the message too long:
MessageTooLongError(message)
elif #whatever condition that produces a communication error:
CommunicationError(message)
else:
tweet(message)
I hope this helps, anyway you can ask me again.
Cheers
